Well, I've done a couple of chickens and some wings since buying the BE. I figure I need to do a test turkey before Thanksgiving day and a big crowd.
I got a 12lb. bird in the brine right now, plan on injecting before going in the cooker tomorrow. Will Probably inject and let come up in temp for about an hour before cooking.
Plan on cooking until I get an internal temp at the breast of about 150 uncovered, then putting on the mesh lid to brown while it comes on up to about 165. Of course I'll do some spot checks with the instant read in case I need to let her run a little longer.
Any advice on cook times, things to watch out for, pitfalls, etc?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
